Dancing Sad by State Shirt

Yesterday's post completes 10 full years of song-a-day. With ten years and a day of songs, I'm bringing this blog to a close. And who better than State Shirt to turn to for the final notes. Dancing Sad describes the overall musical theme of his most recent album, Lost Hills.

Trans Siberian by Nest

Closing out Nest is Trans Siberian with the most dramatic flourishes of the record. But it's still at heart an ambient soundscape, chilly and sparse.

Kara Square on Blues #8: "Blues goes electro with @nop’s latest remix. Utilizing samples from greyguy, My Free Mickey, and Pitx, this creative and cool instrumental remix is not to be missed."

RelaxingBirds by Tigabeatz featuring Javolenus

Musikpirat calls Relaxing Birds "A very relaxing piece of music crafted around Javolenus’s guitare loop. Some drums, chirping birds and a subtle hint of water wash all your worries away."

The Robot Is Dreaming by Revolution Void

The Robot Is Dreaming to a programmed rhythm with a synthesizer backup, slightly jittered, scattering, as it takes slow, repeating steps with an organic bass.
